You're missing the point- negative coverage on Russia is ALL you hear coming from the major Western media outlets, this is my complaint.

Yes all those problems exist, but compare the situation today to the mid-90s and I would argue that people as a whole are better today than back then- we see very little of that kind of coverage.

That's the thing, I'm a subscriber to the NYT and I like a lot of their coverage, especially their in depth pieces and interesting multimedia heavy articles like this one. But if they're providing me biased info about a topic

Interesting article but this is nothing new. Russian villages have been dying for centuries- life was always better and easier in the cities. Putting forward gypsies as examples of a "Russia left behind" is disingenuous at best-

If you think of yourself as mediocre, then you'll be mediocre- people that think negatively about themselves are no fun to be around. There is a difference between the ability to critically analyze yourself and thinking of yourself neg

Based on your previous submission history, I'd say get a handle on your issues before going off somewhere isolated for so long.

That can work. Or even a static scale at the low and high end, with the slider calculating a score in the background. That way you're not distracting the rater with changing numbers. Or even more simply, why not just have a Thumbs Up and T

The site looks great. One piece of feedback- on Chrome Version 23.0.1271.91, the "Rate Artwork" slider doesn't have any kind of scale or visual confirmation of what score I'm giving- I'm assuming moving the slider left indicates that I'm sa

I used to select text much more than I do now. When I was taking the Series 7 exam, I was selecting so much text and clicking as I did so, that the exam software froze (I was about 75% done with the test). Luckily the system reboot didn't

I would gladly pay a one time fee of $50 plus a yearly maintenance fee to update my addresses en masse when the need arises. This wouldn't support an entire company but could generate a healthy income for an individual or a small dev group.

I think that's a copout response. I'm willing to take the risk of having all my information in one place for the convenience that I receive in return. There can be safeguards put in place to prevent the nuclear scenario you present. I can

That's why MVPs were invented- define a minimum set of features and stick to the plan and get something out of the door, then build upon it. I find that some of the longest product-related discussions occur over features/edge cases that ver
